Bah, she's a two faced manipulator who pulled a cheap stunt (ie. crying discrimination/misogyny) because her popularity was in the shitcan. If you saw her operate during the Howard years in opposition, she was one of the most effective attack dogs the ALP had. She didn't allow being a woman to slow her down then, but as soon as the opinion polls fell away, suddenly the mean ol' men are treating her badly... /eyeroll

This is the same woman who doesn't believe in marriage equality...

Discrimination is okay as long as you're not the one being discriminated against... So fuck her and fuck her sniveling "Oh poor me" bullshit. Equality is something everyone should have, not just a convenience to be exploited for political gain.

...if you can't ban 'em...vote for 'em>

Really, it has everything, great voice and sound, kitty cats, scantily clad...well, but it doesn't have Alps, or...just enjoy.

Who is she channeling though, can you ID the voice?

I still prefer finding a stranger in the Alps.

How has Gillard taken Australia 'so far backwards'?


Economically? Damaging our standing as a world class location for mining operations.

Financially? Sinking Australia into debt that the Libs spend 3 long terms digging us out of.

Morally? Sinking so low as to tarnish the reputation of femininity by spouting sexism whenever her per action or performance are called into question. Allowing her party to be ridiculously swayed by the pleas of the Greens who are - imo - just plain bad for the country. Consistantly not only breaking election promises, but doing just the opposite in many cases (OK, this is not that uncommon but to call others out as liars while possessing the trait yourself is pathetic).

Honestly, it's an arguement I can't be bothered putting a lot more effort than this into - but if you can't see what a step backwards the ALP and Gillard have been from the previous government, I worry even more for the future of this country.

German:

Einen Jodler hör ich gern
aus der Näh und von der Fern
Mit der Lieb' im Herzen drin
Singt ihn jede Sennerin

Darum sing ich jedes Jahr
in die Berge, das ist klar
und ich sing mit frohem Sinn
weil ich dann im Urlaub bin

Extensive Joddeling

So ein Jodler liebe Leut
der bringt Stimmung und macht freut
wie ein heller Sonnenschein
leuchtet er ins Herz hinein

Überall im Alpenland
ist so ein Jodler wohl bekannt
immer wieder sing ich sie
diese Jodler Melodie

Extensive Joddeling

English so-and-so translation:

I like a good Jodler
from near and far away
With love in her heart
it is sung by every Sennerin

That's why I sing every year
in the mountains, that is clear
and I sing with great rejoice
because I'm on vacation, yo!

Extensive Joddeling

Such a Jodler, dear folks
is quite entertaining and enjoyable
like a bright sunbeam
he shines into your heart

Everywhere in the alps
a Jodler like this is very well known
Time and time again I sing
this Jodler melody

Extensive Joddeling again.

Feel free to add any rhyming structure.

Oh look, it's a copy of a design used in the alps for decades...

What are the odds? I have a question though, which would you choose if you were the operator and your life were on the line using it on the steep side of some mountain gorge?

The one that has decades of experience building the machines as well a company with a fantastic reputation. Both of which I know nothing of, but thats what I would go for. Reliability is paramount as well.

That's the only "right" answer of course, but it's not always the same answer that the bean-counters come up with.
On an unrelated note... nice package. Was it cold out?
Chances are both machines are manufactured in China anyway, which is where Chinese stole all the design plans from.
